Event venues and capacities
Eau Resort & Spa has more than 30,000 sq ft of flexible indoor and outdoor event space across ballrooms, salons and lawns, so you can choose an oceanfront lawn ceremony, an ocean-view ballroom, or a large indoor reception.
Primary wedding locations listed by the resort include the oceanfront Courtyard (next to the adult tranquility pool), the Grand Ballroom, Ocean Ballroom and Plaza Ballroom. Indoor and outdoor capacities vary by room and layout; the Grand Ballroom is the largest traditional reception space.
A small table below summarizes commonly referenced venue capacities to help with basic planning.
| Venue | Typical max capacity (event type) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Oceanfront Courtyard | up to about 350 reception / 300–400 ceremony (sources vary) | Outdoor lawn beside adult tranquility pool; ocean views (photo 119) |
| Grand Ballroom | up to 450 (plated reception) | Largest indoor ballroom; large foyer for cocktails (photo 113) |
| Resort Lawn & Pool / Resort Lawn | up to 400 | 5,000 sq ft terrace-style outdoor setting for receptions |
Ceremony planning and timing
Couples can hold oceanfront ceremonies on the Courtyard or on the Resort Lawn (both are directly beside the Atlantic). Indoor ceremonies are commonly staged in the Ocean Ballroom or Plaza Ballroom if weather or privacy is a concern.
Because the resort sits directly on the Atlantic, beach width can change with the tide; couples and vendors should confirm exact ceremony placement and tide timing during final site visits. The resort provides wedding services and on-site event staff to coordinate logistics.
Ask your sales contact about rehearsal timing, sound restrictions, and whether any city or county permits are required for amplified music or large outdoor setups. The resort offers private-dining and ballroom setups if you need climate-controlled backup options.

Reception options and catering
Eau’s on-site restaurants can be used for plated or reception dining: Nobu Manalapan (Japanese-Peruvian), Angle (modern American steakhouse), Breeze Ocean Kitchen (coastal American) and the resort’s other outlets. Nobu requires reservations and accepts outside diners as well as hotel guests.
The property lists in-room and private dining services; large receptions are normally handled in the Grand Ballroom or on outdoor lawns with plated or buffet options coordinated through the resort’s catering team.
When you meet with the catering manager, confirm menu options, service style, bar packages, minimum guest counts, and whether dietary requests (vegetarian/vegan) can be accommodated. If you plan a cocktail-heavy outdoor reception, ask about staffing and service logistics for beachfront locations.
- Nobu Manalapan — reservations required (up to 30 days in advance for public bookings)
- Angle — evening steakhouse service; casual elegant dress requested
- Breeze Ocean Kitchen — family-friendly oceanfront dining, brunch and live music on Sundays
